Sikiru S
Experienced mathematics tutor
Education: PhD (Mathematics), MSc (Mathematics) and BSc (Mathematics)Teaching Style
In teaching mathematics, I go through the five stages of the Learning Cycle:
(1) Identifying needs
I give a brief revision of the pre-requisite for the class level. I follow the revision by given assessments; and thus, can identify the needs of the class.
(2) Planning and designing
Having identified the class needs, I then plan and design the teaching of the mathematics in unison with the observed needs. The planning and design usually involve division into tutorial groups of equal strengths.
(3) Delivering (or...

After studying a scientific degree and holding positions on two creative university societies, I am no stranger to working with others and taking upon the role of a teacher. My other lines of work include screenwriting, film production, and directing; activities that bring together my experiences in creative fields such as creative writing, acting, music composition and performance, and visual artwork.

Daniel P
Daniel kindly came in at the last minute to help my son understand what was needed for his EAPI (part of A level PE coursework). Daniel was really responsive, and gave great advice in a form my son understood how to implement. My son just did his EAPI today and the feedback from his teacher/examiner is that he did very well. I am confident that Daniel's intervention has resulted in my son getting a higher grade than he would have otherwise.

Richard S
Richard is an excellent tutor with great advice. Instead of telling me the answer he allows me to independently think and gives small clues on how to get to the answer. He also provided me with great key points and acronyms that help me remember essay structure as well as giving me external resources which contain useful information for my exam.

Jack R
We’ve had a fantastic experience with Jack as a maths tutor - so far my daughter had three sessions with him. Jack is an excellent communicator and explains concepts clearly and step-by-step, making even the all topics feel manageable. His lessons are well-structured and thoughtfully tailored to my daughter’s needs (we aim for confidence in class and confident GCSE mark).
Jack is also incredibly friendly and positive, which creates a really encouraging learning environment - one of my key requirements. My daughter genuinely enjoys her lessons with him and is already feeling much more confident in her maths curriculum. Highly recommended!

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
My child is aiming for a competitive course at UCL or LSE. Can a tutor help with their application?
Absolutely. Many of our tutors are experienced in helping students with university applications. They can provide support with personal statements, develop interview skills, and help your child explore their subject beyond the curriculum, which is something top universities love to see.
We're in Herne Hill and my child is at a very academic school. How can a tutor give them an edge?
In a competitive environment, one-to-one tutoring provides personalised attention that isn't always possible in a classroom. A tutor can focus on your child's specific areas of weakness or help them stretch and explore topics in greater depth, building the confidence and skills to stand out amongst their peers.
How do I choose the right tutor for my child?
You can use our search filters to find tutors with the right experience for your child's age and subject. You can also watch their introductory videos, read reviews from other parents, and send them a message before booking to make sure they're a great fit.
Are your tutors properly background-checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. All our tutors undergo a rigorous selection process, and we verify their identity and qualifications. We also require every UK-based tutor to have an up-to-date DBS check.
What happens if my child doesn't click with their first tutor?
We want to make sure you find the perfect match. With our First Lesson Guarantee, if you don't get on with your tutor, email our support team at support@tutorful.co.uk and we will cover your first session with a new tutor.
How does the online classroom work?
Our online classroom has everything your child needs for a great lesson, including a video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and a space to share documents. It's simple to use and allows for engaging, face-to-face learning from anywhere.
How much does online tutoring cost?
Prices vary depending on the tutor's experience and the subject level. Tutors set their own rates, which are displayed clearly on their profiles, so you can find an expert who fits your budget. There are no hidden fees or contracts.
How can a tutor help my child build confidence?
Confidence often comes from understanding. By patiently working through difficult topics in a supportive, one-to-one setting, a tutor helps your child experience those 'aha!' moments. This success builds their self-belief, which they can take back into the school classroom.
Is it just for core subjects, or can you help with university entrance exams like the BMAT or LNAT?
We offer support in over 300 subjects. This includes core academic subjects as well as specialist help for university entrance exams like the BMAT, UCAT, and LNAT. Many of our tutors have specific experience in preparing students for these tests.
Can tutoring help with specific topics, like algebra in Maths or analysing quotes in 'An Inspector Calls'?
Yes, that's one of the biggest benefits of one-to-one tutoring. If your child has a specific sticking point, their tutor can dedicate entire lessons to mastering it, using examples and teaching methods that work for them.
How many lessons will my child need?
This is completely flexible and depends on your child's goals. Some students have a few lessons to prepare for an exam, while others have regular weekly sessions throughout the school year. You can discuss what's best for your child directly with your tutor.
Do I have to commit to a block of lessons?
No, there are no contracts or minimum commitments. You can book lessons one at a time or schedule a regular slot with your tutor. It's completely flexible to fit around your family's needs.
